Does anyone know what's coming in 2004?

Brett Ferino · 06-19-2003, 10:11 AM

It hasn't been announced for 2004 yet. One thing is that Pavan has the stuff for 2003 above! Hope this helps!

Pavan · 06-19-2003, 10:27 AM

The full list is not out yet for fall 2004. Malcolm in the Middle is coming to locals in fall 2004. Not sure if Girlfriends or Gilmore Girls are going to locals, but Girlfiends goes to BET in 2004 and Gilmore Girls to ABC Family.

Pavanbadal, I know that The King of Queens is going to WNYW in NY and The Parkers are going to WNYW/WWOR in NY. Do you know what stations the others shows, especially Becker, are going to? I'm betting WPIX for Becker. I'm glad CBS ordered 13 new episodes of Becker. Even if they all don't air on CBS, they will air in syndication.

Also, in response to 2003 and 2004 on the cable front, Steve Harvey goes to TBS in October 2003 and Everybody Loves Raymond goes to TBS sometime in 2004. (I know these have been posted previously on other boards.)

I think King of Queens will air on WNYW, The Parkers on WWOR and Becker on WCBS. As for the first run stuff, I posted that somewhere and will dig it up right now...

Yeah, Raymond is starting on a weird month on TBS, July 2004.

I'm not sure about any of these. I saw a release about Ripley's being cleared in 75% of the nation, but nothing about NY was mentioned. It was cleared on KCAL in LA.

SBTB Geek · 06-20-2003, 11:25 AM

I can't wait to watch "The Parkers" on syndie-- I've always been a fan of that show for some odd reason. The rest of the other comedies don't catch my attention.

I'm also looking forward to Sharon Osbourne's talk show, she always has something to say. Hasn't "Ripley's" always been on syndication before?... I swear I've seen it on K-CAL.

Will and Grace Fanatic · 06-21-2003, 02:38 AM

The Parkers? That's great I love that show.

JTC · 06-27-2003, 10:58 AM

I read somewhere a few weeks ago about two shows coming to syndication for a trial run on the FOX O&O's. They are not sitcoms, but might displace sitcoms. The shows are "Classmates" and "Ambush Makeover." They seem to be airing together. In LA, they are airing in the morning back-to-back on KTTV, starting July 7. I just saw a commercial on WWOR a few hours ago for "Classmates" to begin on July 7 at 6PM. I'm assuming "Ambush Makeover" will air at 6:30PM. "Steve Harvey" and "The Hughleys" might be moving to other times. All of the TV listings don't show this change, but they might have just determined when these shows will be airing.

I just noticed that Pavanbadal posted about Classmates as a weekly, but I'm pretty sure it is airing 5 days a week (for now anyway)

Pavan · 07-01-2003, 01:46 PM

Here is the Classmates release, it will just be for the rest of the summer (until end of Sept.):
